background: cardiopulmonary-cerebral resuscitation (cpcr) training is essential for all hospital workers, especially junior residents who might become the manager of the resuscitation team. in our center, the traditional cpcr knowledge training curriculum for junior residents up to 5 years ago was lecture-based and had some faults. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of a problem-based meth...

Knowledge management is one of the critical issues for the improvement of enterprise performances. Different methods exist for extracting and formalizing knowledge in order to create knowledge-based applications. Most of integrated design and manufacturing technological processes are more or less based on knowledge that has been translated into models and then into Knowledge-Based Computer-Aide...

The aim of General Game Playing (GGP) is to create intelligent agents that can automatically learn how to play many different games at an expert level without any human intervention. One of the main challenges such agents face is to automatically learn knowledge-based heuristics in real-time, whether for evaluating game positions or for search guidance. In recent years, GGP agents that use Mont...

Axiom pinpointing has been introduced in description logics (DLs) to help the user to understand the reasons why consequences hold and to remove unwanted consequences by computing minimal (maximal) subsets of the knowledge base that have (do not have) the consequence in question. The pinpointing algorithms described in the DL literature are obtained as extensions of the standard tableau-based r...

New practical applications of the Line of Balance technique are presented, introducing simple and transparent tools for initial planning, short term scheduling and production control on multi-storey building construction sites. These developments were being conducted along an investigation on some construction sites on Brazil. The planning methodology is discussed including preplanning details ...

This paper describes an approach to the detection of events in complex, multi-channel, high frequency data. The example used is that of detecting the re-siting of a transcutaneous O2/CO2 probe on a baby in a neonatal intensive care unit (ICU) from the available monitor data. A software workbench has been developed which enables the expert clinician to display the data and to mark up features of...

abstract   background and purpose: traditional lecture-based teaching has been long used to transit theoretical knowledge to the participants. due to some problems of this didactic approach, some believe that integration within an active method is more valuable in nursing education. in this study, we hypothesized that integrating lecture-based teaching within clerkship course would enhance nurs...

In a knowledge-based system, rules can be defined to derive virtual attributes. Conflicts occur if multiple rules are applicable and one must be selected based on some criterion, such as priority. We identify important properties of a conflict resolution method and describe a technique for resolving conflicts and efficiently processing queries involving virtual attributes in a knowledge-based s...

The ATLAS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider will be exposed to protonproton collisions from beams crossing at 40 MHz that have to be reduced to the few hundreds of Hz allowed by the storage systems. A three-level trigger system has been designed to achieve this goal. We describe the configuration system under construction for the ATLAS trigger chain. It provides the trigger system with a...
